Nobody landed on the moon. Man that one sure pisses people off.

XP works fine, has some features I like better than 7 and works on tons of machines that don't need to go to the landfill. I have at least 10 boxes that will never be upgraded and I don't have any issues. I will never put linux on these machines. Linux is completely over rated and useless to me.
Most of this crap is FUD. Look after your network and don't be stupid on the web. Simple.
We now have these wonderful devices called flash drives. I think one of those might work.
In this day in age, I'm pretty sure everyone can find either another computer or a family member to download a 20 meg (or so) file for them.
I agree wholeheartedly. There is not now, nor will there ever be, a reason to have all computers facing the internet without a router. IPv6 has been a collossal (sp?) waste of resources.
I tried a dumb little experiment the other week. I'm not retarded, I've been playing with computers since 1994.
I thought I'd be "smart" and use the second port on my isp supplied router for gaming. The port is there for x-box and the like. Thought I'd get a better ping. My wife likes watching videos while I play WoT.
Guess what? Virus like RIGHT NOW!!! I have antivirus, firewall and hosts file. I don't download anything sketchy, yet I was owned in no time.
I changed back to my router, which is behind their router, cleaned out my system and haven't had any issues since. I now use qos from my switch. (Yes I realize I should have done that first).
So by going through two routers I have no need for an ipv6 address and I can do anything I need to do including online gaming. People hate change naturally and there's no way people will change for NO REAL REASON!!! I have been saying this for 8 years now.
I see that Steam is the new Linux around here, but I won't play anything from their site just like I won't use Linux for anything either.
What I do play is World of Tanks. Installed without a hitch, works perfectly, and I don't have to give all my personal info away.
This is the most damning of all in my opinion:
Matthew 7
21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? 23 And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!
Just because someone says they are believers of God, doesn't mean they really are. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. The proof of that is in my life. My actions alone.
Psalm 14:1
The fool has said in his heart,
There is no God.
Peace. Let the flaming begin....
$7.2 million of intangible assets and $6.3 million of goodwill related to Slashdot Media
and have only started to realize some improvement on related sites. With ad revenue declining and not expected to pick up (read: everyone who uses Slashdot uses adblocking softwarwe), it appears that the Slashdot stewardship experiment by Dice Holdings has been a financial failure.
Since the site has been redesigned in a user-hostile fashion with a very generic styling, this reader surmises Dice Holdings is looking to transform or transfer the brand into a generic Web 3.0 technology property. The name may be more valuable than the user community (since we drive no revenue nor particularly use Dice.com's services).
